Twin Martial Souls

Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing urgently needed to improve her strength.

"Little girl, how much do you know about the Zhu Family and the Dai Family of the Star Luo Empire?" Instead of answering her question, Li Ang asked mysteriously.

"The Zhu Family and the Dai Family?" Zhu Zhuqing found Li Ang's question rather baffling, but she still replied, "The Dai Family is the Star Luo Empire's imperial family, while the Zhu Family is one of its great noble houses. Because their martial souls are extremely compatible, the two families have intermarried for generations. The Xingluo Imperial Family even forbids the Zhu Family's bloodline from leaving the family."

"Basically correct." Li Ang nodded in approval.

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was utterly confused and unable to make sense of it, Li Ang continued, "So, after several thousand years of intermarriage, although the Dai Family and the Zhu Family are nominally two separate families, they can practically be considered one family."

"If we really got down to it, the White Tiger Dai Family bloodline in your body might not be any less than that of your fiancé, Dai Mubai. If you want to grow stronger in a short time, you could try developing the portion of the White Tiger Dai Family bloodline within you."

"What should I do?" Evidently, Zhu Zhuqing believed Li Ang now.

After all, what Li Ang had just said was logical and well-founded.

Having spent so long in Douluo Dalu, Li Ang naturally knew something about the Star Luo Empire, one of the two great empires.

How should he put it? In any case, Li Ang found this family rather twisted.

Because the Zhu Family's Netherworld Cat martial soul and the Dai Family's White Tiger martial soul were highly compatible, after conquering the Zhu Family, the Dai Family forbade the Zhu Family bloodline from spreading outside the family. Zhu Family members could only marry members of the Dai Family.

At first, it had been nothing much, but the problem was that this custom had continued for several thousand years.

By now, the Dai Family and the Zhu Family had long become practically indistinguishable. Take Zhu Zhuqing, for example. Her martial soul was the Netherworld Cat, so she was classified as a member of the Zhu Family. But the Dai Family bloodline within her might not actually be any less than her Zhu Family bloodline.

Zhu Zhuqing clearly knew this as well. However, although she knew that she carried the White Tiger Dai Family bloodline, she had no idea how to make use of that power.

Seeing that Li Ang seemed to have a solution, Zhu Zhuqing maintained her cool expression, but there was already a hint of urgency in her voice.

"Little girl, have you heard of Twin Martial Souls?" Li Ang was in no hurry at all. Instead, he asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"You mean..." Zhu Zhuqing was no fool. Upon hearing Li Ang's words, she seemed to realize something, and an astonished expression appeared on her face. But she quickly shook her head. "But that's impossible. Martial soul awakening takes place when everyone is six years old. Once the awakening ceremony is complete, the martial soul is fixed. I've never heard of anyone awakening a Second Soul Spirit after that."

"That just means you're ignorant!" Li Ang said bluntly.

He could not help muttering inwardly, That's because you've never met Huo Gua Bi. Forget Twin Martial Souls—he could even pull a third martial soul out of nowhere.

Of course, Li Ang could not tell Zhu Zhuqing about that example. After all, Huo Gua Bi would not burst onto the scene for another ten thousand years.

So Li Ang could only keep making up lies to fool Zhu Zhuqing.

"Actually, in the history of your Zhu Family, there were people who awakened the Netherworld Cat and then awakened the White Tiger as their Second Soul Spirit."

"A long time ago, one of your Zhu Family ancestors developed a method for awakening the White Tiger as a Second Soul Spirit. However, that method was later lost for various reasons. Even members of your Zhu Family no longer know this history."

"So, Teacher, you know it?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

"Of course." Li Ang nodded.

Everything he had said was naturally a lie. Although members of the Zhu Family generally carried a considerable degree of White Tiger Dai Family bloodline—

under normal circumstances, once a martial soul awakened, it was fixed. Unless someone had all sorts of extraordinary encounters like Huo Gua Bi, it was impossible to gain a Second Soul Spirit, let alone a third.

At the very least, Li Ang had no way to make a Zhu Family member awaken the White Tiger martial soul.

But just because Li Ang could not do it did not mean the system could not.

The system shop contained all kinds of martial souls, including the White Tiger martial soul from the Dai Family.

Since he planned to be a portable old grandpa, Li Ang naturally would not shortchange Zhu Zhuqing. He intended to first get her a White Tiger martial soul as a cheat, then find ways to further improve her strength.

By then, Zhu Zhuqing could wield the Evil Eye White Tiger in her left hand and the Netherworld Cat in her right, then open with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger. On her own, she could grind Zhu Zhuyun and Davis into the dirt.

As for Dai Mubai, he could go cool his heels somewhere else!

"Then what should I do, Teacher?" On the other side, after hearing Li Ang's affirmative answer, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer maintain her cool demeanor. An excited expression appeared on her face.

Zhu Zhuqing's aloof temperament was not innate. Rather than being cold and keeping everyone at arm's length, it would be more accurate to say that she had been numbed by despair.

That was precisely why, now that Zhu Zhuqing saw a glimmer of hope, she could no longer restrain herself, and urgency and excitement showed on her face.

"Simple." As he spoke, Li Ang snapped his fingers. The next moment, six dazzlingly multicolored stones appeared before Zhu Zhuqing.

"This ritual is quite simple. This old one once saw one of your Zhu Family ancestors use it, so there shouldn't be any problems." As Li Ang injected Soul Power into the six stones and turned them into a radiant Hexagram Pattern, he said, "All right, just stand in the center of the hexagram. Leave the rest to me."

Looking at the brilliantly glowing, multicolored hexagram before her, Zhu Zhuqing could not help feeling that it looked incredibly impressive.

However, Li Ang's earlier words also made the little girl feel that it seemed somewhat unreliable.

So, after hesitating, Zhu Zhuqing obediently stood in the center of the Hexagram Pattern, but she still asked timidly, "Teacher, this ritual of yours... it won't go wrong, will it?"

"Ah? What did you say? I can't hear you!"

"I said..."

"Enough nonsense. Six Paths Reincarnation Great Array, activate!" But before Zhu Zhuqing could finish, Li Ang had already formed several hand seals in rapid succession.
